Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:06 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue A1 paper is the future of learning #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1 I like teaching kids, they are my favorite to thing to teach, all of my lessons are corrupted toward that purpose #weirded

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:07 PM EDT

#WeirdEd I think I might start a few more tweets with "A Girl can ..." Or "A Girl does..." For a more #GameofThrones feel 8)

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:08 PM EDT

#weirded A1. I like to teach abt. making mistakes/moving past it. So I make mistakes in front of them and move past it to do better

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Wow the puppet army showed up? #weirded

LitcoachLaurie Jun 8 @ 10:08 PM EDT

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx So is there an actual chat tonight? #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:09 PM EDT

wow, that is a popular response #weirded

nolagirlfromtx Jun 8 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A1: Anything that has to do with real life. Everything else comes second. #WeirdEd

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A1 fav to teach is through visual art - I corrupt all classes accordingly! #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx how does one find things that have to do with fake life? #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx :/ hope all is better soon @TheWeirdTeacher #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@Glittersnark paper is big, one of the few materials that survives time travel #weirded

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@btcostello05 Nice one! #weirded

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@btcostello05 A Girl is No La ... from Tx #WeirdEd

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 how to frame a question and find answers (in Spanish, preferably) #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki Thanks #weirded

nolagirlfromtx Jun 8 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@MissShuganah It's always an actual chat. #WeirdEd

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue Paper is the start of the ideation process #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 I like teaching engineering to small children & I like teaching my kids to question everything (until they learn it too well...) #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: I disrupt by infusing art-ish stuff. Love to teach... stuff? #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx So where's Doug? Or who is moderating? #weirded

GartnerMel Jun 8 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Hola #weirded - Mel from Saskatchewan... probably about equal to Sir Isaac Newton, without all his hair

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1: Poetry, this year, was fun to teach. My students did some great work. #WeirdEd

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1.5 I don't so much CORRUPT other lessons as REPLACE, I guess #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@btcostello05 kids are things? I thought they were loves? #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx standards aren't lessons, they are things #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@Glittersnark I thought that was ideas #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue I prefer teaching them to teaching desks, the desks are quiet but they rarely do anything interesting #weirded

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 Common Sense. Which is difficult because it's a math class. #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue #weirded Yeah, it popped up in that time where a bunch of ppl joined @ same time and buried it in an avalanche of fig newtons

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@mrburkemath we wont stop you #weirded

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx standards are limitations to free learning #weirdED

AHSblaz Jun 8 @ 10:13 PM EDT

#weirded A1 that different does not mean wrong! Always >1 right way to do things.

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@mrburkemath LOL! #weirded

teachermrw Jun 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#weirded Not sure how to answer the introductory question re: Fig Newtons and call sign...

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT

So can anyone tell me what the first question was for #weirded?

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @WokkaPatue depends on the type of desk. I find the black science wet tables are very informative #weirdED

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Me yesterday: I know I taught you to question everything, but can you please stop for 2 minutes? them: why? #weirded teacher win/loss

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx standards are the floor not the cieling #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@MissShuganah @nolagirlfromtx @WokkaPatue is moderating due to Doug's family being sick & he must care for them #WeirdEd

teachermrw Jun 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1: Social justice via teaching Spanish. #WeirdEd

oJaison Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1: I think the question of "how this affects the ways we relate as people" pervades every lesson. #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1: I love to teach students to figure out their thing... how to think out of the box, yet be aware of the box... #WeirdEd

GeoJo22 Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1 I like teaching Chinese philosophies. I pretend to be mean and laugh when they figure it out. #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @nolagirlfromtx only if you allow them to be #weirded

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx man, for a long time, language class prompts have been "pretend you're a waiter in Paris." #fakelife #weirded

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A Man Can teach other things when teaching math #WeirdEd #GameOfThrones

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@MissShuganah Rt of Q1 how many fig newtons does @btcostello05 weigh? #weirdED

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@MissShuganah Q1: What is your favorite thing to teach and how do you corrupt other lessons to serve those learning objectives? #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki @MissShuganah @nolagirlfromtx doing what I can, next Q in 2 #weirded

GartnerMel Jun 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1: definitely global citizenship... but also superheroes #weirded https://t.co/rmrg0dUas1

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:05 PM EDT

Q1: What is your favorite thing to teach and how do you corrupt other lessons to serve those learning objectives? #weirdED

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @MissShuganah @btcostello05 in base 8 #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx that may sound foreign to you,but the act of pretending I am in Paris is a real thing(metaphysically) #weirded

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @WokkaPatue Indeed. The kids are animated. The desks ar so wooden. #WeirdEd

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue @MissShuganah @btcostello05 I like to work in base 5 #weirdED

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki Thanks. Not that I can answer that, but at least I know who to follow. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@GeoJo22 #WeirdEd Which ones? Confucian,Taoism? Laozi? Must be an interesting lesson

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@btcostello05 their shoes never come untied also #weirded

oolalume Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

Hiya #weirded, late to the party. K-5 librarian from IL

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@GartnerMel #WeirdEd W00t w00t superheroes!

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @WokkaPatue @MissShuganah weirdos, base 3 is the only base for me #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @MissShuganah @btcostello05 srsly? how many fingers to you have? #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Q2: Have you ever artificially introduced difficulty into a programming or other lesson? #WeirdEd

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx if you wanna get metaphysical...but I think "pretend" is a fair opposite to "real" #weirded

Vroom6 Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@jedipadmaster @WiredEducator @TeacherCast agreed! Started listening a while back. #WeirdEd

GeoJo22 Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki Legalism. I sneak up behind them and smack the desk with my spirit stick. #weirded

oJaison Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Are those two things related? I don't get it... #WeirdEd https://t.co/s6pyXmj5pz

GeoJo22 Jun 8 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1 I like teaching Chinese philosophies. I pretend to be mean and laugh when they figure it out. #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@mrburkemath @WokkaPatue your desks have real wood? get out! #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @Glittersnark @MissShuganah how many fingers do you have? #weirded

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue @MissShuganah @btcostello05 zero, but base 0 doesn't get you anywhere #weirdED

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx it is also inauthentic, which many people would call "fake" #weirded

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2 I once wrote a lesson for PLATO does that count? #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:19 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Q2 Folks! Ever introduced difficulty into programming or other lesson? https://t.co/0FbWNxT4WU

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Q2: Have you ever artificially introduced difficulty into a programming or other lesson? #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx I disagree, the act of pretending is as real as anything else. #weirded

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue @btcostello05 @Glittersnark Eight fingers and two thumbs. #weirded

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx careful inauthentic will be the new authenticity a few years #weirdED

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@MissShuganah There are questions?? #WeirdEd (A Man Can ignore questions and just chat. A Man does.)

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@GeoJo22 Oh man, I'm blanking out on Legalism... Gotta look it up later. XD #WeirdEd Though introducing Chinese Phil. in a Western classroom

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx pretending you're a Parisian waiter vs actually Skyping with Argentinian school kids? #weirded I'm talking HS

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx how is it inauthentic?Never been to Paris? Never been a waiter? If they had, it wouldn't say imagine #weirded

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @WokkaPatue @btcostello05 If my dear ol' Daddio were still alive, he'd appreciate all of this base talk. #weirded

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @WokkaPatue But I just got here! Probably fake wood anyway. #WeirdEd

iwearthecrowns Jun 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT

Hello #WeirdEd. I teach #TechEverywhere. Kids came by today to take my last day of school cupcake order- Taught them to make a #GoogleForm

GeoJo22 Jun 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2 Difficulty is never artificial in my house. Keeping it real. Not coding though. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@GeoJo22 #WeirdEd There was supposed to be a laughing emote in there (XD) but I ran out of 140 charcs.

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@mrburkemath I suppose that means a woman can, too. #weirded

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:21 PM EDT

Ok all I did was answer doorbell for a second -and now I'm confused fig newtons, real, unreal, Paris? 😝 #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A2: Not specifically. Not intentionally. Too hard to do without making it overwhelming for some. #WeirdEd

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@MissShuganah @WokkaPatue @btcostello05 I can do base 2 since I have 2 eyes #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx 1 Skype is literally the worst. B. Why is it 1 or the other? $. Both activities occur in reality #weirded

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx it's not a situation that will ever be relevant to their lives (where I teach). Service learning is #weirded

GeoJo22 Jun 8 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@oJaison The laugh is me being mean. #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@MissShuganah you are clearly gifted #weirdED

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@GartnerMel #Weirded I do Star Wars first then Spidey then other Heroes. My hierarchy of geekdom. But lots to learn abt heros tho

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx guess it's not 1 or the other. One can be practice for talking to real people not acting #weirded

nolagirlfromtx Jun 8 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A2: I think many Ts do the opposite, introduce artificial simplicity instead of letting kids struggle. #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @WokkaPatue @btcostello05 Wouldn't that really be 10 eyes? #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx nor are most addition problems, yet adding is relevant to their lives #weirded

iwearthecrowns Jun 8 @ 10:23 PM EDT

Hello #WeirdEd. Cath, edtech specialist in NYC. Stayed up WAYYY past my bedtime last night 😴

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

#weirded A2. Only in the sense that many Ss are sorta used to being givn answer quickly, I refuse to, tell em they hav capability to find it

nolagirlfromtx Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@JoPrestia See what happens when you step away? #WeirdEd

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx I agree that Skype is dreadful. Any software that wants to merge accounts is awful #WeirdEd

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@MissShuganah A Man Doesnt Propose to Speak for A Woman, but A Man supposes so. #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx or finding a way to express yourself well in a strange situation #weirded always relevant

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx a little struggle makes for better learning #weirded

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@MissShuganah @WokkaPatue @btcostello05 what am I? A spider? #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue Thanks. I occasionally get the right answers. #weirded

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx I'm not a fan of irrelevant math problems either. But pretend is fine practice (vs assessment) #weirded

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx Yes I'm learning from my mistake #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@iwearthecrowns I know the feeling... blaaah sleep. Shoo, go away. #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx The "resiliency" movement kills me. Feels like we don't make 'em resilient, we just limit the risks. #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@mrburkemath Don't forget that Moses supposes erroneously. #weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@JoPrestia @nolagirlfromtx suffering is the spice of life #weirdED

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx #weirded YES! Then they dont gain the tools to find answer for themselves when no one will give it to them

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx but better to practice with probable scenarios vs completely artificial and irrelevant #WeirdEd

GartnerMel Jun 8 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2: Once I had students read Chaucer... but in Middle English #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:26 PM EDT

There is stuff that challenges diff. Ss at diff. times. As it should be, as it happens. #WeirdEd

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx I am a fan of math problems that features trains leaving and platforms and meeting #WeirdEd

kwhobbes Jun 8 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx I "pretend" present presentations a number of times before doing them as "real". #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx sometimes the relevant learning doesn't directly apply to a person's current reality. #weirded

davidtedu Jun 8 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2 Used a game theory problem to introduce difficulty into a writing lesson https://t.co/3s5Hss6TxV #weirdED https://t.co/4CinYMrXUa

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:26 PM EDT

An aside to #weirdchat folks, my dear ol' Daddio was one of the first professors of data processing at Chicago City Colleges. #weirded

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx talking about everything happens in a circle #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:27 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx which happens all the time in real life #weirded

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A2. "A sufficiently advanced artificially induced difficulty is indistinguishable from Rigor." #WeirdEd

kwhobbes Jun 8 @ 10:27 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx #weirded it's moving past binaries to explore border spaces/bump against other ideas.

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:27 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx better if I say Google Hangouts or Whatsapp? Point is real people on the other end #weirded

nolagirlfromtx Jun 8 @ 10:27 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @btcostello05 Most things can be made relevant if we try hard enough. #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:27 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @WokkaPatue @btcostello05 Hard to tell, but you look more like a duck to me. #weirded

nolagirlfromtx Jun 8 @ 10:28 PM EDT

@doodlinmunkyboy And "we" spoon feed them too much instead of letting them figure it out on their own. #WeirdEd

I don't know if I introduce weird topics, but English is math and science is history #Q2 #WeirdEd

@btcostello05 @nolagirlfromtx there we agree #weirded. That's why I prefer making REAL communication a focus over pretend

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:36 PM EDT

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@MissShuganah Why? #weirded

A3: I ask clarifying questions. Where have you seen this before? What do we know about this concept? What approach can we use? #WeirdEd

kwhobbes Jun 8 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@JoPrestia _ one of my favs! We embrace failing to learn not to settle! #weirded

oJaison Jun 8 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue also I think there's value in the conventional, small step forward innovations. Not just the disruptive. #WeirdEd

kwhobbes Jun 8 @ 10:49 PM EDT

Oh look at that - phone at 1% #weirded is done for me. #weirdon everyone!

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@iwearthecrowns what? While you were chatting on #weirded ? .... that's weird.

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@kwhobbes you gave us your best #weirdED

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@kwhobbes #weirded Oh nooooo Bye. have a good night!

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx couldn't a flexible person easily create the context to communicate as a waiter Paris #weirded

lesliefarooq Jun 8 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@davidtedu Sounds fun. I wonder if I can zooley. #weirded

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@kwhobbes come on don't give up - #weirded

blkgrrrl Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@gvtechteach Failing isn't losing, it's how you quickly realize to turn this way instead of that way, go slow instead of fast etc...#weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Q5: How can we use programming as a smokescreen to dismantle the institutionalized “isms” of education? #WeirdEd

korytellers Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

No. #Weirded https://t.co/SN70B9WgNT

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:32 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx I hope it exploded glitter all over @korytellers

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue @kwhobbes start hacking it, that should help #weirded

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Agree BUT keeping in mind we have a broader perspective than they do so we should help show what's possible #weirded https://t.co/TwPvCgBKbQ

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A4: Seems overly simple, but ask them what they need/want. Work from that! #WeirdEd

korytellers Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Heck no. #Weirded https://t.co/39a4IJ8edS

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:33 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx @korytellers yep Kory is loving it #WeirdEd https://t.co/9Lb3qBJwmJ

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A4 Would have helped me if teachers would have taught to my interests instead of what I had to learn. #weirded

gvtechteach Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@blkgrrrl - Well said 🙌🏼🙌🏼 #WeirdEd

lesliefarooq Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A2: Biology is fairly complicated (Ss say difficult) all on its own. I might sprinkle with a tad of extra for Ss who want/need it. #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@korytellers Language Kory, Language! #weirded

iwearthecrowns Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@JoPrestia I may or may not have drifted off a little #WeirdEd

GartnerMel Jun 8 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@kwhobbes Adios for now. I have a feeling I may see you again tomorrow in #saskedchat #WeirdEd

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx but WHY??? #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A5: Use the language of the oppressor. Do "subversive" things that meet the standards of the curriculum. #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@iwearthecrowns @JoPrestia you were in the drift? #weirded this joke especially for @TheWeirdTeacher

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:52 PM EDT

😕 #weirded https://t.co/OiubUguoPM

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Q5: How can we use programming as a smokescreen to dismantle the institutionalized “isms” of education? #WeirdEd

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@korytellers @btcostello05 @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx oh more like this #weirded https://t.co/6kgJPyW0JU

GeoJo22 Jun 8 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A5 Whenever we create, we take a bite out of isms. #weirded

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx why not? if not that then some other artificially generated "real life" scenario. #weirded

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A5 Not sure but I do know that these things need to be dismantled. No civil rights. No justice. No education with them in place. #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 8 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish Definitely. They often defer to me as the "expert." Be open about what is "needed" as we plan. #WeirdEd

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@MissShuganah not always easy. Not everyone shares interests, and it's difficult to learn enough about all of them to include #WeirdEd

lesliefarooq Jun 8 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A1: Ss compliment me for my attempts at avoiding (or at least coming face to face with) heteronormative language. I suppose this? #weirded

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx it's not artificially generated if actual rather than staged communication is taking place #weirded

korytellers Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT

Still no. #Weirded https://t.co/29HLDu4lpC

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@korytellers @btcostello05 @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx oh more like this #weirded https://t.co/6kgJPyW0JU

korytellers Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT

No. :) #2pencilchat #Weirded https://t.co/YwZaiBlVr9

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@Glittersnark @btcostello05 @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx We had an awesome glitter chat on #2pencilchat @korytellers hope you saw it.

lesliefarooq Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT

"From the bottom to the top from the top to the bottom, mmmm I got 'em." A4 to A1, that is. Hi #weirded, it's Leslie, the Canuck in MX.

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT

#weirded Q5 Peeps! Using Programming as a smokescreen to dismantle insititutionalized "isms" of Education https://t.co/NawJeQCHek

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Q5: How can we use programming as a smokescreen to dismantle the institutionalized “isms” of education? #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx staged communication is still communication unless you script it out #weirded

gvtechteach Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A4:Giving students options to show mastery just like us teachers 😁 #weirded https://t.co/5qRfF19Wui

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@mrburkemath Difficult, yes, but not impossible. Requires smaller class sizes and greatly supportive admins. #weirded

oJaison Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A5: What isms are we talking about? Can't talk about them if we won't name them. @WokkaPatue #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx until you introduce those kids from Argentina they are no more real than the Parisian waiter #weirded

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@mrburkemath Also requires access to a lot of resources. So, yes, a challenge. #weirded

lesliefarooq Jun 8 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@korytellers Aw, shucks darnit. We missed glitter chat? teehee #2pencilchat #weirded j/k I love glitter, esp. when it's in my eye! :D

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@oJaison it started with Classism, but there are others more important in other contexts, which has got you down? #weirdED

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@MissShuganah Ah! That's where it went wrong! (On two counts) #WeirdEd

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:56 PM EDT

All this glitter talk has prompted me to share https://t.co/pnXRKymRkq is that #WeirdEd ? https://t.co/JaY1qjLwpg

korytellers Jun 8 @ 10:54 PM EDT
Still no. #Weirded https://t.co/29HLDu4lpC

A5: Okay, I feel the way I did for Q2. #Cornfused #WeirdEd

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@korytellers @btcostello05 @SraSpanglish @nolagirlfromtx maybe this #weirded https://t.co/py0dj49aP0

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx so you created for them a context by which the communication became real #weirded

lesliefarooq Jun 8 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@GeoJo22 They aren't very tasty, but we should eat them anyway! #weirded

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx yes. That's the point. #weirded

mrburkemath Jun 8 @ 10:58 PM EDT

Btw, NYC Ed folk, if you know a HS math position in the area, let me know. Checking Open Market now. #Weirded

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:58 PM EDT

hey @Glittersnark do you have a safe word? #weirdED

blkgrrrl Jun 8 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue Are we stressing selfishness, the best score for you or are we stressing cooperation and sharing #weirded A5

MissShuganah Jun 8 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@mrburkemath I reckon. Why we need educational equality or equity. Maybe Hannibal Smith. https://t.co/2fJgw1sFLC #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jun 8 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@iwearthecrowns #weirded pretty much using Education to subvert institutionalized "isms" present in Education.

oJaison Jun 8 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue hmm sexism always bothers me a lot. Mainly because it affects so many (or all?) of our interpersonal relationships. #WeirdEd

lesliefarooq Jun 8 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A5: It concerns me that we need a smokescreen. Is being overt forbidden? #WeirdEd

GartnerMel Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@oJaison @WokkaPatue Truth... Methinks it's not ecotourism, vandalism or favouritism #weirded

Glittersnark Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue yes it is Mxyzptlk #weirdED

btcostello05 Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@SraSpanglish @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx how does that make it more real than any other example you've generated the scenario&reality #weirded

JoPrestia Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

Ok, I'm all weird out. Thanks #weirded :) https://t.co/37RGdYk6tm

korytellers Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@lesliefarooq We should have a #CilantroChat this summer and be sure to invite both @MrLeBrun and @LisGurthie to it! :) #Weirded

iwearthecrowns Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

A5: Maybe allowing Ss to choose to use programming or other tools to show their knowledge, rather than everyone making the same #WeirdEd

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@lesliefarooq sometimes it is better to ask forgiveness than permission #weirdED

oJaison Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@WokkaPatue and actually sexism influences the ways we perceive ourselves as well. I think it's important to examine this. #WeirdEd

WokkaPatue Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@JoPrestia you have been magical #weirdED

lesliefarooq Jun 8 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@nolagirlfromtx My Ss really enjoyed it when I told them it was "productive struggle," mentioned the term again later. #WeirdEd

SraSpanglish Jun 8 @ 11:00 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @oJaison @nolagirlfromtx because getting to know people in Spanish IS something they will do outside of class #weirded
